Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on October 24, 2006,
applicable to workers of Oxford Collections, Inc., Women’s
Catalog Division, New York, New York and Gaffney, South Carolina.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on November 16,
2006 (71 FR 66799).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of ladies’ apparel, such as women’s
sportswear separates, coordinated outerwear, dresses and
swimwear.
New information shows that as of May 5, 2006, the correct
name of the subject firm should read Oxford Collections, Inc. a
wholly owned subsidiary of Millwork Trading Co., Ltd, d/b/a Li &
Fung USA, including on-site leased workers of Ambrose Employer
Group, LLC, New York, New York and Gaffney, South Carolina.
Information also shows that all workers separated from
employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under a
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Ambrose
Employer Group, LLC.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect these matters.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Oxford Collections, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Millwork Trading Co., Ltd, d/b/a Li & Fung USA, New
York, New York and Gaffney, South Carolina who were adversely
affected by increased customer imports.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,077 and TA-W-
60,077A are hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of Oxford Collections, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Millwork Trading Co., Ltd, d/b/a
Li & Fung USA, including on-site leased workers of
Ambrose Employers Group, LLC, New York, New York (TA-W-
60,077) and Oxford Collections, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Millwork Trading Co., Ltd, d/b/a Li &
Fung USA, including on-site leased workers of Ambrose
Employers Group, LLC, Gaffney, South Carolina (TA-W-
60,077A), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 25, 2005, through
October 24, 2008, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974,
and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade
Act of 1974.”

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 11th day of January 2007.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on September 14, 2006 in
response to a petition filed by workers of Oxford Collections,
Inc., New York, New York (TA-W-60,077) and Oxford Collections,
Inc., Gaffney, South Carolina (TA-W-60,077A). Workers at the
subject firm’s manufacture ladies apparel, such as women’s
sportswear separates, coordinated outerwear, dresses and swimwear.

Employment and sales at Oxford Collections, Inc., New York,
New York (TA-W-60,077) and Oxford Collections, Inc., Gaffney, South
Carolina (TA-W-60,077A) declined during the period of January
through September 2006, when compared to the same time period in
2005.
The United States Department of Labor surveyed the subject
firm’s sole customer regarding their purchases of ladies apparel,
such as women’s sportswear separates, coordinated outerwear,
dresses and swimwear in full year 2004, full year 2005, and the
periods of January through September 2005 and January through
September 2006. The survey revealed an increase in imports of
ladies apparel, such as women’s sportswear separates, coordinated
outerwear, dresses and swimwear during the period under
investigation.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with ladies apparel, such as women’s
sportswear separates, coordinated outerwear, dresses and swimwear
produced by Oxford Collections, Inc., New York, New York (TA-W-60,
077) and Oxford Collections, Inc., Gaffney, South Carolina (TA-W-
60,077A), contributed importantly to the total or partial
separation of workers and to the decline in sales or production at
that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Oxford Collections, Inc., New York, New York
(TA-W-60,077) and Oxford Collections, Inc., Gaffney, South
Carolina (TA-W-60,077A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 25, 2005 through
two years from the date of certification are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act
of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974.”
